Question NW2120 to the Minister of Tourism
19 June 2023 - NW2120
De Freitas, Mr MS to ask the Minister of Tourism
What are the reasons that the SA Tourism officials who caused her department to incur expenditure in relation to the aborted Tottenham Hotspur deal are not being held personally liable to repay the wasteful and fruitless expenditure?
Reply:
I have been informed by SA Tourism that there was no fruitless expenditure identified in relation to the proposed Tottenham Hotspur deal.
As a result, there was no disclosure in the entity’s submitted financials.
This forms part of the Internal Audit investigation.
